Occupying 1 million cubic yards of concrete, 1.5 miles of runways and 108 buildings, Naval Air Station Glenview served as a training facility for thousands of Navy cadets and reservists from 1937 to 1995. In addition to aiding in the World War II effort, NAS Glenview was at one point home to Neil Armstrong, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush. Though the Department of Defense closed the base in 1995, its control tower remains nestled inside a shopping and dining complex known as The Glen.
